Canopy and Ducting Cleaning - Legal Requirement

by Naz

Hi,

Just a quick question, we bought a takeaway and we have been advised by the environmental health that we have to have a certificate to show the canopy and ducting has been professionally cleaned.

The canopy and ducting x 2 is not big and my husband and employees tend to clean these themselves.

Is this a legal requirement or can we continue to clean them ourselves as we do this very regularly? The business is based in Scotland.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
